Famous quotes containing the words flag and/or days:

    “Hath not the morning dawned with added light?
    And shall not evening call another star
    Out of the infinite regions of the night,
    To mark this day in Heaven? At last, we are
    A nation among nations; and the world
    Shall soon behold in many a distant port
    Another flag unfurled!”
    —Henry Timrod (1828–1867)

    “The third day of Christmas,
    My true love sent to me
    Three French hens,”
    —Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 8–10)
